Hypertherm is now offering a new gouging shield for people wanting even greater control when gouging with Powermax? air plasma systems. This new Max Control gouging shield is designed for jobs in which the operator needs to remove a very precise amount of metal. The tip of the shield is engineered and machined in a way that allows the operator to create a very shallow gouging profile. The introduction of the Max Control gouging shield expands the offerings of Powermax gouging consumables which includes the existing Max Removal Gouging shield and HyAccess? extended gouging consumables.
